    Yelp Review - Brooklyn Chckn 'N' Lbstr (Brownsville, Brooklyn, NY) If you're ever in Brownsville and craving soul food that hits every spot, you must stop by Brooklyn Chckn 'N' Lbstr! This place may be small inside with a takeout-only setup, but the menu is BIG -- and packed with flavor. I'm a seafood lover, but this time I went with my son and we both couldn't resist the oxtails -- and they did not disappoint. We ordered oxtails with macaroni and cheese, oxtail empanadas, and even oxtail mac & cheese empanadas! Yes, they went there -- and it was all amazing. The mac and cheese was creamy and flavorful, and every bite of the oxtail was perfectly seasoned and tender. My son also ordered the oxtail chopped cheese sandwich and it was out of this world! Juicy, flavorful, and absolutely addictive. A must-try item on the menu! We also tried their house juices -- I got the mango, and my son had the lemonade. Both were super refreshing. To top it all off, I had their banana pudding for dessert, and I have to say, it was top tier. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and well-prepared. 10/10. Brooklyn Chckn 'N' Lbstr is officially on my go-to list for soul food in Brooklyn!

    Ordered food through grubhub. The salmon and catfish are sold with sides but my order had no sides. This was my first time eating their food. I ordered from this restaurant based on a few good reviews on instagram. I found the food to be mediocre. The service is obviously subpar based on my food delivery. Very disappointed by my experience.

    Day 1, I bought wings with a side of mac and cheese and sweet potato. It was delicious and savory. I also had a watermelon-lime drink that was a bit too sweet for me but once I added ice it was magnificent. Day 2, I bought wings again and mac and cheese. The second day's meal was better than day 1; Dont get me wrong both days the food was delicious and great but somehow day 2 tasted as if someone's Mama was in the kitchen making the food with pure love and affection. In a neighborhood that doesn't have many fresh, home-cooked meal options. I am glad to have found this place. The staff was welcoming and offered conversations while preparing the food. Its a simple location but it was clean and the food was covered while in the buffet.

    The chicken is too spicy but has no flavor. And I didn't like the flavoring of the mac and cheese.

    Visited on a busy Saturday evening and really enjoyed my meal. I ordered an iced tea/lemonade, and…read moremy meal was a piece of catfish, side of mac, and it came with cornbread. The food was delicious, I will definitely return. There was no line to order when I arrived, but we were directed to order at a kiosk since they were short staffed up front. The young man at the counter was very busy but kind and I could see the workers in the kitchen working hard as well. The ambiance was typical for a fast casual restaurant. Some people grabbing takeout orders, delivery app workers doing pickups, and dine in patrons at tables. There were seating options for couples as well as groups. I definitely do recommend and will return next time I'm in the area.

( I also ordered tea) I tried again with some friends. Today was the first time I've been inside and actually sat down. Once you order, they ask for your name and then serve your table by calling your name. It's cute. As for the food... I ordered the fried chicken with potato salad, dressing and cornbread and peach cobbler. My chicken looked good, but tasted a little dry. Maybe it was just being under a light for a bit. I visited in the evening. Who knows? My potato salad was a bit bland, and I was hoping for some pickle relish mixed in. (If you know, you know.) I'm not a fan of cobbler, but I thought I'd give it a shot. They also had apple cobbler, which I should have stuck with. I can't tell you how the cornbread dressing was. When I got home they forgot to pack it. I don't think I'll be back, but it's a nice place to sit and chat with others while they enjoy their meals.

This was some of the best fried fish I've had, if we're talking about just the fish itself. The breading is solid - going with a hot level of spice meant there was a good amount of seasoning on top, but I wouldn't classify it as spicy. It was crunchy at points, but missing the flakiness and true crunch I'd associated with top-tier fried fish. However, where it makes up for this is how good the inside of the fish is. This was spectacular - crazy moist, super tender, and just tasted fantastic. The complete opposite of that rubbery texture you get when you overfry the fish. The sauce that came with the fish was a little bland, however As for the sides, I thought the mac and cheese was really good - cheesy, slightly crispy on top, and cooked very well. I also liked the grits - though a bit buttery. The fries were a miss though. For the price, I think around 25 for the meal and a side is a solid deal. The sides especially come with pretty large portion size that will leave you very full. Overall, this is very good Southern food that I certainly enjoyed. 8.5/10

    Heard a lot about Peaches but after trying the food, I've concluded it's decidedly average. The…read morefish sandwich was decent but a bit plain. I liked the chicken but I personally wouldn't pay for it again. The best tasting part of the meal was the cornbread but you barely get any of it. I liked the mac and cheese as the best value of the entire order. To caveat this, we did order out, so I'd like to return and update my review soon with a dine-in test. The takeout takes quite a long while and it's pretty cramped inside the actual restaurant especially to wait, so I'd highly recommend ordering ahead of time online.

So..... we went and totally understand the hype. As soon as you walk in, you can smell the amazing dishes and you can literally feel the love they put on each plate as they serve the guests. I almost don't want to share this review for fear that the line may get longer but this restaurant is now one of the few that I recommend you go out of your way to try and enjoy. Their menu is classically simple but made with an abundance of care and no shortcuts in their cooking. As you are seated you are welcome to place your order in the front of the glass display, they cook everything in house and sometimes they run out of the specials so don't sleep on getting there on time. We ended up getting their lunch specials and picked one main and two sides. I know my girl loves Ox Tails and ended up getting the last plate with some candied yams and Mac and cheese. Let me tell you, we cleaned the plate and it was finger licking good!!! The jerk ribs were amazingly tender and fall off the bone. All of the sides were well portioned and absolutely flawless. Don't come here if you're on a diet there is only one way to enjoy this restaurant and it's to just dive in. FYI - you will need a nap after your meal. This place just hits your tastebuds differently; it doesn't just leave an impression, its mind shattering good. You will sing after the meal - happy dancing the whole time as you're eating.

I wanted to love it so much especially since TikTok critic/MMA fighter Keith Lee visited them in 2023, but my experience was not like his. I want to say that online reviews are almost about accurate. They were out of cold salads and collard greens which was an issue for other customers at times as well. No problem, they were super helpful and offered an alternative but not a good one. I had steamed vegetables that mashed in my mouth like mashed potatoes when I took a bite. I did end up going to another spot for collard greens and potato salad because you can't have soul-food without that. I had the rib dinner with mac n cheese and yams and a tiny piece of complimentary cornbread. The ribs definitely taste amazing but they don't take off the membrane in the back which is slimy and gross. I left that part behind. The yams were sweet and good BUT.....that mac n cheese is NOT soul-food Mac n cheese. Here's the thing I figured out, they use such little cheese but season the noodles very well that you don't truly notice unless you love mac n cheese, which I do, so I noticed it lacked so much cheese but had seasoned noodles. The rib dinner was a 3/5 because ribs were great but sides needed help. I had rice and peas as an additional side and fried wings. The wings were ATROCIOUS! I ate the smallest one and didn't eat the rest. How can you serve such huge feathered wings like that? It was a nightmare. The feathers being on it turned me off. This tells me they don't make their food with care, they move quick to be one and done and I want my food cooked with love and care. They were also frozen wings that were thawed and seasoned, I know the difference. The rice and peas were okay 3/5 as well. Overall the food was not worth the hype. Customer service was beautiful for sure but the food was not it.
